Ever since Hubby and I honeymooned at Disney World in Orlando seven years ago, anything Disney has always meant something special to me. I feel lucky that we live only an hour and a half drive away from Disneyland - makes for the perfect escape.

We recently got to escape to Disneyland for Family Media Day and experience all the fun Halloween festivities. We attended a reception with delicious treats and activities for the kids. Bean was a little unsure of the villain characters in attendance:

Then it was off to do our favorite rides: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion and of course, the Carousel. While Hubby rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Bean and I checked out the super cool pumpkin carvings and petted some animals:

What I love about Disneyland is that you don't always have to be doing something. The attention to detail is incredible, and you can be entertained simply by strolling around. Even standing in line, there's always something to look at. Halloween Time at Disneyland was a total hit this year - we really felt like we were at the happiest place on Earth!
